Methi Mutter Malai
Methi Mutter Malai takes its origin in Punjab and it is one among the famous north Indian curries. Malai Curries are known for its richness and creamy texture. The freshness of fenugreek leaves(Methi) and peas (Mutter) with the fresh cream load (Malai) makes it Richie.
It was this afternoon, i decided i wanted chapathi with methi mutter malai. Its been very long since we made it at home. So decided to cook malai curry and it was perfectly awesome. I have not used garlic and ginger in this recipe. I usually don’t add it in malai recipes as it takes the flavor of malai curry to normal red based/onion curry.
